#define NPY_NO_DEPRECATED_API   NPY_API_VERSION
The purpose of this module is to add faster sort functions that are type-specific. This is done by altering the function table for the builtin descriptors.
These sorting functions are copied almost directly from numarray with a few modifications (complex comparisons compare the imaginary part if the real parts are equal, for example), and the names are changed.
The original sorting code is due to Charles R. Harris who wrote it for numarray.
Quick sort is usually the fastest, but the worst case scenario can be slower than the merge and heap sorts. The merge sort requires extra memory and so for large arrays may not be useful.
The merge sort is stable, meaning that equal components are unmoved from their entry versions, so it can be used to implement lexigraphic sorting on multiple keys.
The heap sort is included for completeness.

* GENERIC SORT **

This sort has almost the same signature as libc qsort and is intended to supply an error return for compatibility with the other generic sort kinds.
